When I did my El Camino 5 speed swap (from a factory 4 speed saginaw...RARE) I had to mod the trans crossmember by lowering the mount point by about 2 inches or so, had to cut about 2/3 the way through it's thickness and just braced it along the bottom with a section of 1.5 x 3/16" angle iron. The outputs of the WC5 speed and the saginaw were different splines so I had to swap output yokes (not sure what you will have) and I found a correct length driveshaft (can't recall what from) at a parts yard in South Philly that specialized in driveshafts.
Check around some muscle car sites, I think the clutch linkage and pedal assembly may be common with several 60's/70's GM models not just the Nova family.
I still have my WC5 speed out in the shed, it needs an input bearing(s) (you can hear the bearing whir and feel a little play in it), let me know if yer interested, I need to make a run into A-town soon to drop off one of my son's race motors to be freshened up.
